Terms of use

Couchlist is a directory of third-party websites, operated by Couchlist. Using the site means accepting these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

Every listing points at a website we do not own, run or control. We do not host, store, stream, proxy, embed or modify any of their content. We cannot vouch for what they contain, whether they are lawful where you are, or what they will do to your device.

Following a link is your decision and your responsibility, and so is complying with the law where you live. Listings and votes are information about what exists, not advice to use it.

• You need a working email address, and you must be at least 13 years old.
• Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One account per person. Do not make extra accounts to vote more than once.

• Submit malware, phishing pages, scams or anything designed to harm whoever clicks it.
• Submit sexual content involving minors, or anything else illegal to distribute. This gets an immediate ban and, where required, a report.
• Harass anyone, or use the notes, names and submission fields to abuse people.
• Attack the service: scraping at volume, automated submissions, probing for holes in order to exploit them, or trying to reach other people’s accounts.
• Misrepresent a site to game the ranking, or vote with accounts you made for that purpose.

Accounts that do these things get suspended, and their contributions get removed.

You keep whatever rights you have in a description, note or icon you submit. By submitting it you give permission to publish it on Couchlist, to edit it for clarity and accuracy, and to keep it published if you later delete your account — otherwise one person leaving would blank out listings other people maintain.

Only submit an icon or description you are allowed to submit. If you ask, your credit can be removed or anonymised.

If you are a rights holder, or the owner of a site that should not be listed, write to anarchyburn@gmail.com with the exact listing URL on this site and what the problem is. Requests are read by a person, and a listing can be removed quickly — there is nothing to un-host, because nothing is hosted here.

Anyone can also report a listing from its own page without writing an email, and that queue is checked.

Couchlist is provided as it is, free, with no guarantee that it is accurate, available, or that any listed site works or is safe. To the extent the law allows, Couchlist is not liable for loss or damage arising from using this site or any site it links to. Nothing here removes a right you have that cannot lawfully be removed, and these terms are governed by the law of the place where the operator lives.

These terms can change; material changes will be noted on this page. For anything at all, including a complaint about how a moderation decision was made, write to anarchyburn@gmail.com. See also the privacy page and about.
